Reflective signs are what street signs, such as STOP signs are. They are normally on a very thick aluminum and the face is a reflective material that "glows" when light in the evening is shined onto it, as is typical with vehicle headlights.

Reflective signs are perfect when an electrically-lit sign is not feasible.

This is a reflective sign that Centreville Sign A Rama produced for the Urgent Medical Care in Gainesville. There are two double sided signs. One is in the parking lot and the other is in the entrance of the shopping center providing an effective directional sign.

Typically, channel letters are mounted to a straight horizontal surface, but here there is an incline which needs "bracketing" to make the sign straight.

The "CEDARS" part of the sign are separate letters. The tree is a logo circular shape that is in actuality a big channel letter with graphics applied to the acrylic face and the "MEDITERRANEAN GRILL" section is a 10 foot long lightbox, again with graphics applied to the face.
